kuun kiertoa kohti

Fennica Gehrman

Description

The work draws on a spatial image of movement in some intangible substance around a dense, solid centre. It begins with a theme, the hub, presented in four versions: not variations of one another but as if they were examined from different angles and distances. The slower music in between consists of leaps and arches in different directions, and the last appearance of the theme, fortissimo, is followed by an epilogue leading far away to silence.

kuun kiertoa kohti was commissioned by Jyrki Myllärinen with funds from the Madetoja Foundation.
